Dell EMC Isilon Presents at Storage Field Day 13

John Har, Isilon Product Manager for Dell EMC, gives an introduction to the product line. The company recently launched the F800 line, an all-flash version of the platform. John reviews conceptually how Isilon is designed, and what the typical use cases are for their scale out NAS platform.

Steve Soumpholphakdy, Software Senior Engineer with Dell EMC Isilon, gives the delegates an architectural overview of their new F800 platform. This is Isilon’s new all-flash scale out NAS. F800 was designed to increase density, better resiliency, and transition to an Ethernet backend, replacing InfiniBand.

Anton Rang, Software Engineer at Dell EMC Isilon, discusses their OneFS software. This powers Isilon, and is based on a FreeBSD kernel. Anton goes in-depth how the system had to be adjusted to make the most out of its new all-flash environment.

Anton Rang, Software Engineer with Dell EMC Isilon, reviews the performance their new F800 all-flash platform can achieve. This includes 15.4GB per second reads and almost 8GB per second writes, per chassis.
